Hey guys!!! I have my eye on the so full kate ankle booties (new to 2018) and I’m not sure about sizing. My nearest retailer only carries them in the silver fabric in store and I am looking for the black nappa leather pair that is only sold online. I ordered the black in a size 39 and they were tight. My toes were almost hitting the tip of the shoe and the back of my foot was extremely snug at the heel of the shoe. I have tried wearing them with thin socks because that is my intention with these boots. I feel like I am slipping a bit but the back of my heel is still touching the heel of the shoe while my big toe can almost feel the tip of the shoe. Because the Louboutin website suggests to go a half size up in this style, I decided to return the 39 and order the 39.5. Well, I finally found a pair of 39.5 in the silver fabric and it fit ok (it didn’t feel as secure as the leather pair in a size 39 and I felt like I had a bit of room and with thicker socks, it could work). The only problem is, fabric doesn’t stretch. The boots I want are encrusted with spikes, and I’m afraid of stretching them out too much. I haven’t tried on the black pair in a 39.5 since they haven’t arrived yet but how much will Napa leather stretch??? I have average width feet with long toes. Should I have kept my original size especially if nappa will stretch? If it stretches, will my feet slip forward, giving me a heel gap? I have a few pairs of loubs... pigalle follies patent 100mm Sz 39 (fit but toes are scrunched if I don’t use the sock method before wearing them out/no heel slippage... 39.5 gave me heel slippage), circus city 100mm gold silk/leather Sz 39 (fit like a glove), so Kate’s patent 120 Sz 39.5 (gives me heel slippage), pigalle follies patent 120mm Sz 39.5 (gives me heel slippage), and Baretta spike pumps kid leather Sz 39.5 (I can fit my finger at the back of my heel therefore it’s too big). If anyone knows about so full kate booties or any other Louboutin boot that is similar in style (has them/tried them on) please advise!
